  1. Woohoo – Alli is back from her madricha gig in Israel with IsraelExperts and will now be gracing us with her blogging presence. Yay Allibaba!

  2. Even better. I was watching Saturday Night Live with Snoop Dog last week. They translated Double Jizzle as “Jizzel Cafool” and I nearly lost my shit……

    Anyway, Shana Tova to all, catch ya in 5765.

  4. That seems really … not cool.
